LJ is growing on me, but I still like Usenet better because the messages are organized by subject rather than by journal's owner, and I can find interesting threads again easily. The discussion (I'm thinking specifically of rasfc here) often seems to go into greater depth because of that.
I do like that I can read LJ from anywhere and that it gives me a place to post random "OT" stuff.
A couple ways to find older threads that maybe people will find helpful: There is now a "recent comments" page (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/recent_comments.bml) which gives you both lists of comments your journal received and ones you posted. I find it helpful to follow up on things I commented on. I wonder how easy it would be for them to add a "last updated on" to that feature.
It should also be simple to add a category of Memories and add interesting posts to it. Would still have to check each post.
And of course those add two more pages to check everyday.
